Check out the PDF of the draft of the Perl 6 book in the R * distribution (as docs/UsingPerl6-draft.pdf or something similar). The Perl 5 to 6 articles at http://perlgeek.de/en/article/5-to-6 http://perlgeek.de/en/article/5-to-6 are very helpful even if you aren't familiar with Perl 5. One thing to remember about them is that they describe Perl 6 as specified, regardless of whether any of the implementations fully support the relevant features. The Perl 6 Advent Calendar from last Winter (http://perl6advent.wordpress.com/2009/12/01/perl-6-advent-calendar/ http://perl6advent.wordpress.com/2009/12/01/perl-6-advent-ca...) is more of a "Here are some really cool things about Perl 6" series of articles, but they are also pretty good reads for learning the language.
